“This podcast makes me doubt my love of other Slate productions. Am I really aligning myself with such pretentious twits? Are these really the people that are at the cocktail parties where Emily, John, and Plotz are chattering? If so, I've got to stop my social climbing. The panel is most likely highly knowledgeable but that only occasionally comes through the sneering, condescending commentary.

I agree with a previous reviewer that it would be much more interesting hearing the political gabfests take on these issues. It does seem that there is room for a podcast that has a nice discussion on what drives our culture, just not with these people.”Read full review »

“I can't disagree with many of the reviews that have called this podcast out on being far too pretentious, snobbish and condescending. I think the main problem is that you get the distinct impression that these people either don't actually watch and/or don't actually like the things...”Read full review »
